Picture this: You spend all morning perfecting your makeup routine. You flawlessly blend your foundation, swipe on just the right amount of blush, and complete your look with a complementary lipstick shade. You head out the door for a busy day, but by noon, tragedy strikes. You look in the mirror and see that your once-perfect complexion looks blotchy, smudged, or creased.

We've all been there dedicating precious time and effort to blend our makeup to perfection, only to have our look slowly fade throughout the day. The truth is it's what you do to your face before you apply your makeup that determines whether or not it will stay put all day.

Heres everything you need to know to ensure that your favorite makeup looks go the extra mile.

Why Is It Important to Prep Skin Before Makeup?

If you want to ensure that your look stays put throughout the day, youll need to properly prep your skin. If you don't take the necessary steps before reaching into your makeup bag, you may end up with dry patches, dullness, or uneven coverage.

What Should You Put on Your Face Before Applying Makeup?
Step One: Cleanse Banner

Before you start prepping your skin for makeup, be sure to start with clean, dry skin. Using circular motions, gently rub your favorite cleanser into your skin to remove any impurities, dirt, and oil.

Step Two: Exfoliate Banner

Think back to the last time you exfoliated your body: How amazing did your skin feel afterward? Just like the skin on the rest of your body, your face also needs to be exfoliated to remove any dead skin cells that may be clogging your pores. Dealing with dry skin? Exfoliating can also help alleviate dry patches that can lead to an uneven complexion or blotchiness.

Be warned: If you have sensitive skin, certain exfoliating formulas may be a bit harsh for you. Try doing a patch test on a small section of your skin to ensure you don't have a reaction.

Step Three: Tone Banner

Toner is an often-overlooked step in our everyday skin care routine, but it's officially time to add it to your product lineup. Toner helps to calm and protect the skin while helping to prepare it for the most crucial step in your routine-moisturizing.

Not sure how to properly use a toner? Apply a small amount onto a cotton round and gently swipe the product all over your face and neck.

Next up on your pre-makeup to-do list is moisturizing. Apply a generous amount of hydrating serum to your entire face while your skin is still a little damp from the toner. This will help your skin to better absorb the product. Then, follow up with your favorite moisturizer.

Step Five: Prime Banner

Cleansing, exfoliating, toning, and moisturizing are important parts of your skin care routine but when it comes to all-day makeup, applying primer may be the most essential step. Primer helps to create a smooth, even canvas on your skin and helps extend the longevity of your foundation, blush, bronzer, and other face products.

What Can I Use to Set My Makeup?

 

If you've made it this far, you're ready to get started on your all-day makeup look. Congrats! Once you've finished perfecting your complexion with face makeup, it's time to lock your look in place. There are two ways to set your look: with a setting spray or a setting powder. If it's a dewy look you're after, mist your entire face with a few spritzes of your favorite Setting Spray.

If it's a matte look you're after, set your makeup with a setting powder. 

You can also apply both setting spray and setting powder for extra staying power.
